Good afternoon WFMS families,
EOG Practice at Home
Looking for a great way to support your child at home? Help them feel confident and prepared for End-of-Grade (EOG) testing by exploring the NCTest Online Assessment Tutorials and Released Items. These resources provide practice questions and tutorials that reflect the actual test format, helping students become familiar with the tools and question types. Check them out here: NCTest Practice Resources.
Test Tip of the Week:
📘 Get to know the test format! Practicing with real examples helps students feel prepared and less anxious.

Giving Tree Donation Drive
During the week of Monday, April 28th through Saturday, May 3rd, we are proud to be partnering with The Giving Tree to hold a Donation Drive to earn money for our school. Last year, we earned $1600 by participating with The Giving Tree! Participation is simple--all you need to do is grab a paper bag or box and fill it with like-new home goods that you no longer use. Drop off your donations during the week of April 28th at The Giving Tree at 839 South Main Street in Wake Forest. They accept donations Monday-Saturday from 10:30-4:30. Our school will get DOUBLE Donation Credit during the entire week of our donation drive! Here is a short list of items that The Giving Tree currently needs:
Summer home decor including decorative pillows and wreaths
Summer or neutral wall art
Wall mirrors
Lamps with shades
Small Furniture
Garden décor, pots, tools, etc.
The Giving Tree is a 501c3 non-profit, so when you make a donation, you will receive a tax receipt for your donation. This is a great way for you to clean out your house, give back to the community and earn money for our school! Click the link for all the details: Giving Tree Information

Counselor’s Corner
April is Autism Awareness Month. We want to highlight understanding, inclusion, and acceptance for all people who identify along the autism spectrum. The Autism experience is different for everyone with this diagnosis and can impact social skills, self-regulation, and communication. Over the last twenty-five years, approximately 1 in every 36 children have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We benefit from the insights and strengths, like creativity, intense focus on specific interests, and attention to detail, that our neurodivergent students bring to our school community and we are glad to highlight their experiences.

This month is a time for many important religious observations and celebrations. We would like to honor all the cultures and faiths of our school community during this time.
Chag Pesach Sameach! Happy Easter! Eid Mubarak!
Just as the fields are blessed with a bountiful harvest, may your life be filled with abundance and happiness. Happy Baisakhi!
